I've not been able to get onto the website listed in many plus size
listings. I am looking for men's plus size sewing and knitting
patterns. Does any one know if Polar Bear's Sewing Patterns still
exists?
Cheers

Hi;
It would appear that Polarbear's patterns are no longer on the
net.. All of the website's pages seem to come up as 404 or 403
non-existant or "forbidden".
I hope that nothing has happened to Polarbear, he was a nice person.
Good luck finding large men's patterns... It is a real problem... You
can try to find a copy of Simplicity 9477 Large Men's l/s shirt,s/s
shirt, pants, & walking shorts (up to size 6x) (This pattern is
discontinued, which is a real shame.)
Here are a couple of Hawaiian "Luau" shirt patterns in sizes up to 4x,
which work up nicely: (numbers 210 & 220)
http://www.longago.com/hawaiianmen.html
210 can also be used to make s/s "dress" shirts using "view b" ...
(These patterns are presently available)
Simplicity 4585 is a presently available men's zoot suit pattern in
sizes up to 52 (2x).
Simplicity 4758 is a presently available men's boxer shorts pattern in
sizes up to 5x.
Simplicity 4975 is a presently available l/s shirt, vest, and
"western" shirt in sizes up to 5x.
Presently available, Simplicity 9469 is similar to the discontinued
9477, except it is available in sizes to 52 (2x) only.
McCalls has a **few** large mens patterns up to size 3x in the
unisex/men/uniforms section of their present catalogue.
http://www.mccallpattern.com/unisex_men_uniforms/page-1
( M4529, M4530, M4399, M2477, M8524 are all available up to 3x)
Here are 3 sweater patterns in sizes to mens 5x to knit:
http://www.vermontfiberdesigns.com/patterns/men/pullover_long_sleeve.php
(the red design is available to mens 6x)..
hope this helps...

If it's any consolation, he didn't have *that* many patterns. A brief
pattern, a dress shirt pattern, a Speedo-type swimsuit pattern, some
sweatpants, I think, and a casual shirt, and I think that was it.
